63 days.You can’t lose with this 1800s
heirloom. Kentucky Wonder (brown
seeded) has wonderful, if not
unsurpassed flavor. It out-produces
most other pole beans with heavy
crops of 9" long, gently curved,
oval pods. A multi-use bean: drying,
shelling and green. Stringless when
young. Excellent for freezing. Good
even in hot climates.

This packet sows two teepees or one 6 to 10-foot row. See inside for instructions on
how to build a bean teepee.

Days to Emerge:10 days

Seed Depth:1"

Seed Spacing:
2 seeds every 4" to 6"

Row Spacing:
3' - 4'

Thinning:
When 1" tall, thin to 1 every 4" - 6"

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.
1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and
when temperatures are warm. NOTE: In very hot summer areas such
as the South and Southwest, sow in
March for June harvest, and August for
late September harvest.

When to start inside: Not recommended.

Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to
pick when the pod “snaps” or breaks in
half cleanly. This is when seeds have just
begun to form and the pods are
7" - 9" long. Hold stem with one hand,
and the pod with the other hand to avoid
pulling off branches which may continue
to produce. At season’s end, plants are
great compost material if not diseased.
